    #61 making a rare appearance - please could you log £50 for May.

    In better news, I expect to be able to overpay a bit more frequently and in larger amounts from July.

    Hi there - New forum member here and would like to join the 2023 challenge to keep me on the 'straight and narrow'.  I realise I'm joining part-way through the year, but hopefully I'll be allowed?.

    I recently paid off my Help to Buy Loan and re-fixed my mortgage.  I'm on a 5 year fixed term of 3.94%. 

    I've just finished running a few estimations:  The mortgage is for 22 years, and if I made ZERO additional payments I would pay it off in 21.5 years / 256 months.  However, I plan on making overpayments each month and this way I will pay it off in 11 year / 132 months, saving £34,419 in interest.

    I made my first overpayment today of £659.
